What to serve with crockpot smothered chicken?
This recipe is delicious served with white rice. You can learn how to freeze rice and you can make this meal even easier.
I love to grab the rice from the freezer in the morning and when we come home it is all ready to reheat and serve. We do this for lots of meals and it helps on busy weeknights.
It’s also delicious over pasta Any type is great! Try bowtie, penne, egg noodles or whatever you have on hand.
We also love mashed potatoes with this so we can pour the gravy all over the potatoes. It is the best!
You can learn how to make Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes that are so creamy and easy.
If you want to get some veggies in there, a simple side salad goes great with it and only takes a few minutes to prepare. Green Beans are also really tasty too with it.
This meal is also good with asparagus. This oven roasted asparagus is a family favorite and it is very simple and quick to make.
I often just use what I have in the freezer or what is on sale at the grocery store. We love simple recipes like this and everyone looks forward to when this recipe is on the menu plan for that week.
By shopping when things are on sale I save money on groceries and it really helps our budget. Saving money and feeding a big family can be accomplished.
Make sure you have a good slow cooker to make this crockpot smothered chicken with mushrooms recipe.
I have the Ninja cooking system and it is my absolute favorite. The nice thing about this is you can brown the meat in the same slow cooker.
It is nice to just have the one pan to clean and it is very handy. It has become of my favorite kitchen appliances.
If you are in the market for a new crockpot, this one is my favorite. I use this all the time and it’s great.
This is awesome for when you need to take the crockpot somewhere. I often use the slow cooker to take dishes to potluck events and this feature is amazing!
There are several others on sale here.
Another favorite is this programmable crock pot for when I am am not at home all day. I love coming home to a nice meal ready and waiting!
I also like to use crock pot liners to make clean up a breeze. These are worth every penny and save a ton of time.
If you don’t use the liners, I would use cooking spray.

Whole family loved this recipe it’s delicious… we make it very often!!
SO EASY AND A GOOD HARDY MEAL THAT KEEPS YOU FULL.
OMG! The Crock Pot Smothered Chicken is beyond delicious and amazing! The chicken is so tender, the sauce and mushroom I believe I would be able to eat with a spoon right out of pan of them! When you put it with the rice (or I use egg noodles sometimes) it’s like coming home! Great, easy and so fabulous meal and I can vouch it’s so very scrumptious the next day! Gotta love the leftovers!!
This was so easy to make and the chicken was fork tender! It made plenty of gravy and it was delicious! I’m not big on mushrooms so I left those out. I am big on garlic so I added that! I will definitely be making this one again!
Easy to make and everyone went back for more! It’s going in the make again book.
just had this last night. so yummy.
Is there another way to make this without a crock pot? I’m away from home 10 to 12 hrs a day for work and single. I can never find slow cooker recipes that cook that long…
My crock pot switch over to a keep warm setting so that I can still use it even when I’m gone for long days. I would recommend using one of these crock pots or you can also make this in an electric pressure cooker (Instant Pot).
This was an outstanding recipe. The only thing we changed up is to double the mushrooms. It’s still came out perfect and gave us more love.
Can I use frozen chicken breast or isn’t better to use thawed?
You can use frozen chicken breasts as well. I would add 1 hour to the cook time if cooking on low or 30 minutes if cooking on high if you use frozen chicken breast.
This was really good! I used onion mushroom soup mix because that is what was in my pantry. Will definitely make this again. Thanks for the recipe!
This was so easy and turned out so yummy!!! I was able to throw it together in just a few minutes Saturday night, cook it overnight on low, turn the crockpot to low while we were at church, and have a warm main dish ready when we got home. We only had to wait for the rice to cook, then lunch was served.
